Thanks Luke for the report, and Ralf for the analysis.  Both patches are
fine with me.

Typically, I omit the email address of the reporter from the ChangeLog
if it can instead be looked up in THANKS.  That way, if the reporter
later asks me to change their listed address to a newer one, I only have
to touch one file instead of searching through ChangeLog as well.
(Actual patch submissions are a different story, since the ChangeLog
format requires an address for the patch author).
